<H2>Is Jetty J2EE compliant?</H2>
Yes!  
<P>
Jetty conforms to Sun's Java Servlet Specification, and thus implements the web tier of J2EE (with the added extra of an HTTP
service built in). Jetty is <B>not</B>, and has no intentions of becoming, a full-blown application server. Rather, Jetty's
focus is to be the best and most efficient embeddable HTTP/servlet server with the smallest footprint around. With that as our
charter, our technique for obtaining non-web tier J2EE features is to integrate Jetty as the web container of the application server.
<P>
This technique has already been applied to <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jboss/">JBoss</A>, one of the leading J2EE implementations,
to provide a fully open source J2EE solution. In fact, as of JBoss 3.0, Jetty is
the defacto standard web container shipped with JBoss releases. Jetty developers continue to work closely with JBoss to
maintain a tight integration. You can find the latest downloads of Jetty/JBoss <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866">here</A>.

<P>
The Jetty is also integrated as the web container of the <A HREF="http://www.objectweb.org/jonas/index.html">JOnAS</A>
Open Source application server. Again, members of the Jetty and JOnAs communities are actively involved in honing this
integration. You can find the download lists <A HREF="http://www.objectweb.org/jonas/download/index.html">here</A>.

<P>
Additionally, the Jetty community is working on extracting a useful subset of J2EE functionality, namely transactions and
datasources, to bundle as a JettyExtra. Please watch the <a HREF="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jetty-discuss">mailing lists</A>
for more information on this sub-project.
<P>
Finally, Jetty is widely used within both the Open Source and commercial worlds but as these communities are large, diverse and
fast moving it is difficult to keep a definitive list of Jetty integrations. So, if you are working on a Jetty J2EE integration
or you know of such a project, please <A HREF="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jetty-discuss/">let us know</A>.
